We all meet our fair share of BSers in pool rooms and just in life. I would like to hear any storys of BSers getting busted. I was just thinking about one of my own and it goes like this.

I play with a snooker cue, a guy asked me "hey is that a snooky cue?" I told him that I am from England and that I have never changed to a pool stick. He told me then "I almost became a professional snooky player" I already know he is full of it since he can't get the name right, so I pushed just once more and asked what his highest break was. Any snooker player knows this by heart. He said I don't remember but it was around 200. BUSTED. Let me know.
 
"3-cushion? yeah, we used to play 3-cushions!... yeah, you had to kick the cue-ball 3 cushions before you hit the ball and made it in the pocket, and you had to play the 8-ball in the last pocket you made your ball"
 
This guy that comes to the place I always shoot came in and he had just gotten a brand new cue. When I got home that night I looked it up to see what they go for online. The next time he came in I asked him how much he paid for the cue. His reply was, "My dad bought it, I think he payed about 750 for it. It has Ivory inlays." I replied, "You got raped, because they go for 140 on the internet." BUSTED

McFarland MCF201 was the cue mentioned.
 
My favorite is not pool related, but I once told a guy who claimed to be in the music business that my favorite singer was Billie Holiday.
He replied, "yep. I agree. I really like his music."

Ok here is a non related one. An English friend of mine was at a Chuckee Chees in Cali and the big rat thing in the costume came to hang with the kids. (they are not allowed to talk when they are in the costume) He heard my friends accent and wrote on a napkin . Are you from England? My friend said yes I am. Chuckee then wroke thats great I'm from Whales... BUSTED.

Thats awesome.
 
Overheard from K Tru-do at Hard Times in early IPT days. "My high run is 203 balls". A listener then asked him to play some Straight Pool with him. He declines stating he is "out of stroke". A little while later he's seen practicing with Mike Sigel, and can't run more than four or five balls. When he notices people are watching he hangs up his cue. BUSTED!

Gotcha beat -

KT promises to fund the IPT for three years, and doesn't even manage one year.

BUSTED!

:D
 
About a year ago, I had some idiot come into the pool hall. He's back there on one of the tables missing every other shot. Every so often he kept looking over to the bar to see if we were looking when he actually pocketed a ball. When he did pocket the ball, he strutted around the table like the big rooster in the pen. I didn't pay him any mind, he was just shooting with his girlfriend - I figured he was just a punk trying to impress her.

So, as he was on his way out, he's paying for the table and he sees my cue behind the bar and he complimented it. He started to tell me how he almost went pro but he was too good, how he's beat a lot of the top pros (wow - I had a top roadie in my room and didn't even know it)... and that back home in "Kentucky" he has his own expensive cue. Yep. It's a "Ball-a-reen" and it's worth almost $15,000, which is why he keeps it back in "Kentucky" (Fort Knox, I figured).

:p

He then tells me that he was watching me play the night before last and that if I would practice a little bit more, that someday I might be as good as he is, or as good as some of those pros you see on TV, like "Earl Rodriguez". (who the hell is Earl Rodriguez?)
:p

I put the balls up, cashed him out, gave him his change, the whole time, just biting my tongue and trying real hard not to laugh out loud.

As the guy is walking out, one of my regulars was sitting at the bar with a smile on his face and says, "When it comes to piling up the manure, his mouth sure ain't got nuttin' on a elephant's a$$, huh Dave? Think he wants to play some?"

This kid stopped dead in his tracks, looked at both of us. Then he looked at his girlfriend. She looked at us. We looked back at her... his face turned red as an apple and he ran out of there as fast as he could. He was halfway across the parking lot before she was half way to the door. Never saw him again.
:p

That would be funny to see. Actually getting busted doing it not just not knowing the right answer but showing you don't.

I don't get how they think they can get away with it. I mean If you were talking to a couple of dumba$$es who know nothing about pool you can tell them anything. But telling people in a pool room who will know is amazing. By the way Earl Rodriguez is Stricklands mexican 1/2 brother.
 
I can't even count the number of times people have told me their cue was custom made by George Balabushka. Less than 10% of the time it is true. As for the other 90%+, they end up being Adam GB cues, old Palmers, Blacks, Horns, and others I don't even recognize.
